Why We Love it

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak is perhaps Gérald Genta’s most memorable work, and in many ways, it changed the shape of the watch industry.

The Royal Oak essentially launched an entirely new category of 'luxury sport' timepieces, and with it came a new design language that has inspired countless other manufactures. What's particularly delightful about the design of this seminal watch is that it works brilliantly in a number of sizes and casing materials, from stainless steel to carbon, ceramic, and solid gold.

This particular model, a Reference 15450S4.OO1256SR.01, is housed in a two-tone, 37mm stainless steel and pink gold case with a sapphire crystal, a signed crown, and an octagonal bezel. Simple and handsome, it features a silver Grand Tappisserie dial with applied luminous ‘baton’ indices, a matching handset, and a date window at 3 o’clock. Pared to an integrated two-tone bracelet with a hidden deployant clasp, it’s powered by an automatic Calibre 3120 movement from Audemars Piguet. 

Wearing slightly larger than its measurements would lead you to believe, we've found that the 37mm Royal Oak often offers a superior, slightly more understated wearing experience - and an exceptional value - compared to its larger siblings.

This example was originally retailed in 2017, and comes complete with its box set, warranty papers, and instruction booklet. Professionally refinished, this stunning piece from AP's current collection is ready to go!

Brand Story

+
There are certain watches that define a brand, informing its design ethos and becoming nothing short of iconic in the minds of collectors. For Audemars Piguet, that watch is the Royal Oak, in all its multitudinous incarnations. Yet the manufacture from Le Brassus did not earn its seat in the triumvirate of leading watch brands — the so-called Big Three — on the success of the Royal Oak alone.

In fact, both Jules Audemars and Edward Piguet came from long lines of watchmakers, and made their reputations long before the Royal Oak was conceived. Their reputations rested on their ability to create incredibly elegant timepieces in numerous styles. While some of these timepieces were simple, elegant dress watches, others were one-off or short-series pieces produced at the rate of a handful per year. (Some years, Audemars Piguet only produced a few hundred watches in total.) Calendar watches, chronographs, minute repeaters — all the delights of haute horlogerie were part and parcel of the AP oeuvre long before the Royal Oak made its debut in 1972.

Technical innovations from AP abound and include the first minute-repeating movement, the first skeleton watch and an ultra-thin automatic tourbillon. Newer collections, such as the Code 11.59 from 2019, see the maison continue to develop new and exciting watches and calibers, the likes of which aren’t based upon tired horological tropes from models past. (Though if vintage reissues are your bag, AP does have a special “Remaster” line — currently consisting of just one model — that reimagines some of its classical, complicated pieces from the mid-20th century.)
